Barbantiño Viaduct

From HighestBridges.com

With three massive prestressed concrete beam spans of 420 feet (128 mtrs), the Viaducto de Barbantiño is one of the largest bridges on the AG-53 Autostrada. Add in two side spans of 410 feet (125 mtrs) and you have a total length of 2,493 feet (760 mtrs) supported on piers reported to be as high as 95 meters.

Higher up in the Barbantiño valley and also in the 328 foot (100 mtr) height range is the high speed railway viaduct on the line between Santiago de Compostela and Ourense with spans of 220 feet (67 mtrs) and a maximum pier height of 320 feet (97.5 mtrs).
